I have been searching the net trying to come up with some type of chart or guide that shows when various flowering garden plants bloom. All I can come up with is the usual "blooms spring to early summer", "blooms mid summer to Fall", etc... What I'm looking for is bloom times from germination. I only have one seed pack here at home that gives that specific information. I would love to have simular information for veggie seeds...something more than just maturity times, more specifically when the plant produces. Or is that what is ment by maturity?  If anyone knows where I could get ahold of such info please let me know... THANKS! |

I thought for sure that the Old Farmer's Almanac site would have something like that. I snooped around and the best I could come up with is to put that heading in the search bar and see what comes up to choose from. Sorry, I wasn't much help. |

Well I'll keep searching...I would think someone ought to have that info. |

That is what is meant by maturity. You could also go to the local garden center and look for a book called Month by MOnth gardening in Illinois, or any fo the "All About" garden books by ortho. They give gemination and days to harvest info. I have the Month by Month Wisconsin edition by Melinda Myers and it is a huge help for my gardening. Hope this helps |

Maybe the Illinois Extension page would have the info to, at least for some of the more common veggies grown in your state. www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/veggies/ Tam |

Well I'll keep searching...I would think someone ought to have that info. Books and the internet can give you an idea of when to expect things to bloom. But, I think that charting is probably your best way to do it accurately. I know, for example, that somebody who lives 10 miles from me has different bloom times than I do because she is almost on the lake. I think that there are lots of microenvironmental factors that could potentially affect bloom times. |
